To further address homelessness in the city, Vancouver is looking to employ the expertise of vendors with experience using shipping containers to design a series of transportable housing units. The units, which are for temporary stays before permanent housing can be obtained, would have a washroom and sleeping quarters and share a communal kitchen with other units. The plan will allow the city to quickly increase its housing supplies for the homeless while also significantly reducing construction costs. The city plans to pilot between 30 and 40 modular homes, and if successful, 300 homes could be installed by the city annually.
